    Could help, if he wants to get involved. But he shouldn't have to ask.

    Yes your quite right, it wouldn’t surprise me if the player does release a statement on social media or in the chronicle

    Yes I have a feeling someone at the club might have a word. Didn't Lukaku have to do the same thing? Wasn't a dig at you suggesting just sad that it's what it may take.

    Am sure Whitey will be relaying the topics of the board back to the club so I’d expect something to materialise in the coming week

    This is an incredibly depressing thread. The ferociousness of some of the language used by fans to fellow fans is appalling. If you wouldn’t use it face to face don’t use it on the board. It debases the subject matter of the thread.

    and then it'll all be recycled in the national press again because a player with limited English has had to explain to grown men of limited intelligence why continuing to sing this chant despite the club already asking for it to stop is the right thing to do.

    We lose one match and everyone turns into a grumpy set of fannies. Ridiculous. People need to chill out.

    Some people pointed some stuff out after a brilliant win versus Fulham. Just saying.

    I agree, a defeat brings out the worst in some folk.

    Can you not understand that reinforcing a racial stereotype is a bad thing? Is it that difficult to grasp?
    How about this? All supporters of Brexit are thick? It's a stereotype. Happy with it?

    Interesting choice of comparison. You're right though; those that believe this stereotype are as stupid and ignorant as those that believe the stereotype about a black man's tackle or any stereotype for that matter.

    I've been known to change the odd word in a song when I'm not comfortable with it, for example there was an unnecessary swear word in one of the Winnall songs. The Bambo song is a bit different though. If most people are going to stick to the original words, it's going to look like I'm singing the same, even if I'm not. When it's a swear word, it doesn't really matter. When it's something racist, it does. The song is forever tainted and I don't want to be associated with it at all.

    Yeah, sorry I’m a grumpy fanny.

    If we’d have got three points I would have been over the moon that once again the amoeba element of the fan base are dragging us through the mud by setting off smoke bombs in confined spaces, bullying stewards and repeatedly singing a song with clear racist undertone. Despite being asked not to do any of those things and having it explained explicitly (the fact they needed it explaining at all says it all) why the song is racist, why setting off smoke bombs in a concourse is bloody dangerous and that attacking stewards, a lot of the time no more than kids on minimum wage, probably isn’t too great an idea. Bullied one poor lass to tears on Saturday. Aren’t they big hard and clever?

    Yeah like I say it’s cos we got beat. Nobody would come out and criticise these plebs if we won...

    Anyone who defends any of this behaviour even slightly is just as much the problem. The EFL need to force the club into action. If a championship club sought permission from the league to refuse to sell tickets to Barnsley supporters, despite it being against league rules, they’d have a good case to have it granted.

    There are plenty of clubs with idiot fans behaving appallingly - I’m not claiming otherwise. But we need to get our house in order and get this sorted out. The away following is increasingly dominated by these types of incident. It can’t be allowed to become the norm, tolerated and expected.

    Was the ban on flares brought in after the fan was killed at a Wales game ?

    So not a single racist could answer it.

    Disappointing, but fully expected.

    It's getting to the point that I'm questioning even going to watch The Reds at the minute.

    I wasn't on about what went on at the game, clearly that is out of order. I was commenting on the way people are speaking to each other on here.

    The debate about the Diaby song is, frankly, incredible. I can't believe it's even being discussed. The fact that the song should not be sung, especially since it has been highlighted as distasteful by the club is indisputable.
    I'd rather kick every person who sings it in its current form out of the club for good.
    I'd rather have crowds of half the size at Oakwell and operate in the fourth division if that's the result than have the club become a second Millwall. Because that's the road the morons singing the song and their apologists would take us down.
